Part 4 The Maritime Silk Road 49, the soldiers are useless

The three of them hurried to Cheongshu Castle to inquire about the news of Wasuka, and after learning that he had returned from Luzon, they immediately rushed to Hokuriku to support Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was fighting against the Echigo Uesugi family, and temporarily locked Lin Feng in his home in order to keep it a secret. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

For Yushiba Hideyoshi, he may no longer expect Lin Feng to cooperate with him on overseas expeditions, so Lin Feng has lost the value of strategic cooperation, but he still has a huge fortune in his hands, which is full of incomparable temptation for anyone.

Wasuka was convinced of the prophecy of that mirror, regardless of what the fate of Oda Nobunaga would be? Hashiba Hideyoshi is a staunch executor of the "world Bubu", and now, there is no suspense about the unification of the archipelago by the Oda clan, and the next step is to abolish the emperor, remove the shogunate, attack the Ming Dynasty, take India, conquer Persia, and enter Europa, which is the established direction and goal. Then, Hideyoshi will definitely be the general of the expeditionary force, and he has been promised to be the king of Joseon, for the robber-born Bee Suka, he understands very well that the war is about money, and he must control Lin Feng in his own hands in order to fight for the greatest benefit for himself, so he must not let Oda Nobunaga or other retainers under Hideyoshi know that he has kidnapped Lin Feng, who is rich and rival the country.

Although Oda Nobunaga moved the castle to Gifu, the castle was still heavily guarded, and the Wasuka family was like a great enemy.

At this time, Xu Ling'er heard an important news, Shibata Katsuya lost the battle with Kaneshin Ueka, Oda Nobunaga sent Hideyoshi to support, but Hideyoshi has always hated Shibata Katsuya to get Mrs. Aichi, deliberately grinding and refusing to take the initiative, resulting in Beizhuang in danger, for the safety of Mrs. Aichi, Shibata Katsuya wanted to send her back to her parents' home, but Mrs. Aichi resolutely did not want to see his brother again, so she had to send her to Cheongju City.

Hashiba Hideyoshi's deeds were denounced and had to take the initiative to fight, but as a result, the combined forces of Shibata and Hashiba were defeated by Kanetobu Kanetobu, and the history is known as the "Battle of Tetori River".

Oda Nobunaga was furious, and sent his eldest son Nobutaka to personally take command, and took the shame of the river with his snow hand, it seems that this battle will not be over for a while, Xu Ling'er thinks that he can ask Mrs. Ashi to help, and take this opportunity to take Lin Feng away from the Bee Suga family.

For this plan, Zhu Hui was full of worries, if he didn't return to Lin Feng, it would be more difficult to rescue him than to ascend to the sky.

After careful analysis, everyone thought that the odds of victory were eighty percent certain, so they made a plan, let Zhu Hui pretend to be a monk, Han Xiaoyu pretended to be the Ming Jinyi guard who pursued the fugitives, and Xu Ling'er took them to meet Mrs. Ashi.

More than three years have passed since the fall of Otani Castle, and under the C of Oda Nobunaga, he lost her husband, son, and Mrs. Aichi, who lived in the castle, and married Shibata Katsuie, the daimyo of Kitasho......

At the critical juncture, after Mrs. Ashi let go of her personal doctor Xu Yi three times, it can be said that Xu Linger was as kind as a mountain, and this time she came to ask her for help, Xu Linger didn't want to deceive Mrs. Ashi, and she didn't want to make it too difficult.

The three of them came to Oda Nagayi's house with a generous gift, and Mrs. Ashi thought they were here for this trip, and warmly received Xu Ling'er and others at home.

After lunch, everyone came to the tea room, Xu Ling'er introduced Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu's intentions, and when she learned that Jinyiwei came to capture the pirates, Mrs. Ah Shi expressed her willingness to help, so she asked about the whereabouts of the pirates.

Zhu Hui said: "Madam, this pirate is extraordinary, he came from Luzon Island to take refuge in Yuchai to defend the front, so that the Minister of the Right Guard can help him attack the coast of Daming, please Madame think about it, not to mention whether they can win the war." Even if they win, how many families will suffer the tragedy of the fall of Kotani Castle, and if they lose, the position of the Right Guard Minister in RB will plummet, and how many ambitious people will try to replace them, and when the time comes, it will be too late to regret it. ”

Speaking of the tragedy of Kotani City, Mrs. Ashi was sad, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and replied helplessly: "As a woman, there is no way to restrain my brother. ”

"I understand Madame very well, and I also know that you have now taken refuge in Buddhism." As he spoke, Zhu Hui untied his turban, revealing his bald head that he had shaved in Hirado, and then said: "The poor monk is also a disciple of the Buddha, and he knows that Nobunaga Gong once burned down the Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei, and I am afraid that no one in the world can persuade him. ”

At this time, Xu Ling'er said: "When Kotani Castle fell, I asked my wife, why didn't Nobunaga even let go of his own sister? I remember what Madame said, Chang Zhengjun chose to confront my brother because Chang Zhengjun's belief is that soldiers are useless, but my brother wants the world to deploy weapons, for Chang Zhengjun's belief, if you can not fight, you will not fight, if you can not kill, you will not kill, we will bring this pirate back, and we will not kill him, I hope he can repent in front of the Buddha, and please forgive Madame. ”

Mentioning Chang Zhengjun's belief that "soldiers are useless", Mrs. Ashi shed tears again and asked, "How can I help you?" ”

"Madam, General Beesuka has brought this pirate back from Luzon, and he has gone to fight in the Hokuriku, and this pirate is still a guest at Wasuka's house, to see if we can ask Madame to come forward, and we will go and see him together, and if he will come with us, then we will take him away; If he doesn't want to go, we won't be able to force others, and it's not too late to find a way, what does Madame think? Zhu Hui asked.

Finding that Mrs. Ashi was still hesitant, Xu Ling'er said: "Mrs. is so kind to me that I can't repay it. However, as far as this matter is concerned, I am really sorry that it has made Madame embarrassed. ”

"Miss Ling'er is serious, as a disciple of Buddhism, to save the common people with good thoughts, why do you need to repay it? If we want to be grateful, both Nagamasa-kun and I should be grateful to Ling Zun for leaving future generations of fireworks for the Asai clan. Mrs. Ashi replied.

Zhu Hui continued: "The poor monk deeply understands the difficulties of his wife, and for the livelihood of the world, he wishes Nirvana and persuades this pirate, but unfortunately, if you can't see him, everything will be in vain." ”

After pondering for a moment, Mrs. Ashi replied: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and since this is the case, I will accompany you on a trip, and I dare not guarantee whether the Wasuka family will let us meet this pirate." ”

So, under the leadership of Mrs. Aichi, everyone came to Wasuka's house together, and when they heard that Mrs. Aichi was visiting, Mrs. Wasuka hurriedly greeted her.

For Lin Feng's attitude, Bee Suga did not want to offend him, but also afraid that he would run away, just after returning from Luzon, just in time for Oda Nobutada to take the river to supervise the battle, as a general under Hideyoshi, did not dare to stop for a moment, immediately led the troops to the battlefield, claimed to his family that Lin Feng was a guest he invited from afar, leaving a dozen or so personal soldiers to help "take care", not to let him go out without permission, but did not say that he could not meet guests.

The visit of Oda Nobunaga's sister was a big deal for the Wasuka family, who were born as wild samurai, not to mention the fact that Wasuka was fighting together with Shibata Katsuie in Hokuriku, so Mrs. Wasuka invited everyone into her home and warmly entertained them for tea.

Mrs. Aichi first expressed her gratitude to Wasuka for her support of Hokuriku, and then gave them a gift in the name of Shibata Katsuie, which moved Mrs. Wasuka to the ground.

Next, Mrs. Aichi mentioned that Wasuka led three thousand no samurai to build Sumamata Castle overnight on the banks of the Kiso River, and greatly destroyed the past of Mino Saito Ryuko, praised his exploits, and asked about their fiefdom, to which Mrs. Wasuka replied that there were only 3,200 koku at present.

Compared to other samurai, Wasuka's fiefdom was too feuding, so Mrs. Aichi proposed that her brother increase the fief for them, which greatly moved Wasuka and immediately gathered the whole family to come and thank them.

Once upon a time, when Akimeura Castle was destroyed, he and Luo Amin fled to Owari, at that time, he only knew a monkey who was still a light and had the heart to join Oda Nobunaga and help them sell muskets, but the monkey with a higher heart than the sky played all kinds of caution to prevent him from meeting Oda Nobunaga, and was finally sent back to Ryukyu by the monkey.

Now, he finally seized the opportunity, Lin Feng saw the demeanor of Oda Nobunaga's sister, and took the opportunity to stammer this "powerful world" beauty in order to realize his long-cherished wish, just when he wanted to speak, he saw Xu Ling'er and Zhu Hui at a glance, and immediately sat down on the ground.

Mrs. Beesuka was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the maid to help him up, and explained: "Please don't blame Madame, this is a guest of our family, who just came back from overseas a few days ago, and may have been sick again, so send the guest back to rest." ”

At this time, Zhu Hui hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said in Lin Feng's ear: "Uncle, we have rescued you." ”

Lin Feng's face turned pale, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief, he knew that once Bee Suga came back, he would be forced to hand over that huge fortune, for him, in addition, almost all the chips were lost, although he hated Zhu Hui and Xu Ling'er and others, he couldn't help but ask at this moment: "How do you save me?" ”

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south." Zhu Hui pointed to his bald head and replied with a smile: "The dog and I can't bear to see you fall into the hands of jackals, uncle, come with me to become a monk." ”

At this time, Mrs. Wasuka noticed that the little monk was chatting with the guests, so she persuaded, "Please come up and talk." ”

So, Zhu Hui helped Lin Feng onto the tatami mat, folded his hands and said: "The poor monk and this benefactor are both from the Ming Dynasty, and they are destined to meet here today, I have something to say, please forgive the two ladies, Amitabha." ”

After receiving the nod of Mrs. Ashi and Mrs. Bee Suka, Lin Feng, who was expressionless, asked in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty: "Don't pretend to be a ghost with me, let alone sell me guanzi, what do you want?" ”

After saying Amitabha, Zhu Hui replied: "Our Zhu family was plundered overseas by pirates, because we didn't want to be thieves, we were left in Qiumepu and helpless, at that time, you had not yet become a climate, in all fairness, you took a lot of care of our father and son, let my father be a husband, and the family finally did not starve to death, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks here, and call you an uncle." Later, when you had the money, you began to recruit troops and horses, built a castle in Akimeura, tried to follow in the footsteps of Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and others, and were imprisoned by your own brother for five years, and now, you ended up like this, uncle, have you really repented? ”

After hearing this, Lin Feng smiled slightly, and then asked, "Where is your aunt?" Where are the dogs? ”

"Now that Aunt and Sister Ying'er are in Shuri Castle, you can rest assured that Brother Gou'er has also gone back, and he will resign from his official position as the King of the Ryukyus, and we will follow Elder Moon Sky across the ocean and go to the New World to Xuanhua my Chinese civilization."

Lin Feng was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "That dead eunuch from Dongchang, how can he accommodate my family in the Ryukyu Kingdom?" ”

"Please rest assured, uncle. With the help of Guo and Xu's two sisters, Wang Gonggong gave up fighting for the Lin family's shochu shop before he died, and the young lady he secretly protected is now a concubine of the Ryukyu Kingdom, you should be able to guess who this person is, she and Guo and Xu's two sisters became godsisters, and helped the dog brothers win the vanguard officer of the Ryukyu Expeditionary Force, and let him go to Luzon to rescue you, but everyone didn't expect that you actually colluded with the wolf's ambition to go on like this, it is really intolerable! ”

At this time, Lin Feng couldn't help but look up at Xu Ling'er, only to see her expression solemn, nodding her head, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "Are you going to let me go back to Ryukyu, or are you going to hand me over to the imperial court?" ”

Zhu Hui shook his head and replied: "No, now Fifth Brother Ma is building a ship in Yuegang, waiting for us to build an ocean-going fleet, go to the New World together, and compete with Westerners, such ambitions, I don't know if you still have such ambitions?" ”

Lin Feng smiled slightly and asked, "When you go to the New World to proclaim the civilization of China, you don't kill people and set fires, rob homes and houses, do you still need me?" ”

"Yes, you have seen what the Westerners are doing on Luzon, we hope to live in peace with the aborigines, like Xu Chai Lao did in Luzon in the past, to promote the way of Confucius and Mencius, to implement the rule of propriety and benevolence, to spread agriculture, fishery and industry, to teach the local people craftsmanship, to achieve the great rule of the world, and it is indispensable to have conflicts with Westerners. Of course, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, we want to compete peacefully, without an armed force as a guarantee, I'm afraid it's not so easy, therefore, I hope you can escort, I don't know what my uncle wants? ”

"So, I still have to recall the old department?"

"Now, in Luzon, Guangdong, Fujian and other places, there are still many of your old departments, they have no way to make a living, and it is very likely that they will fall into the grass again, please uncle don't learn from Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, don't forget Zhang Sanguan, Li Siguan, Mr. Ma and other loyal and brave people, in the future in the new continent for them to find a way to live."

Lin Feng thought that he might mention that wealth and make trouble for a long time to invite himself out of the mountain, but he still couldn't rest assured, and said unceremoniously: "Crossing the ocean, competing with Westerners, it's not just a matter of talking and playing, you weigh and weigh carefully, how many catties and taels do you have." ”

"We know that back then, in order to leave a way back for himself, Yan Shifan transported a lot of property in the name of donating Shishan Honganji Temple, and hoped that his uncle would donate this money to be used as the Sichuan road fee for the ocean."

"Hehe, so in this case, I will be the king in the future?"

"Yin Xun is not benevolent, King Wu will replace him, and I will talk about the future in the future, going against the mandate of heaven is the way to perish, please uncle Mingjian."

Lin Feng finally moved his heart and asked, "Will you take me away now?" ”

At this time, Zhu Hui, Xu Ling'er and Han Xiaoyu smiled and nodded at the same time.

Mrs. Aichi was worried that something might happen, but when she found that they had soon come together, she took the opportunity to say goodbye to Mrs. Beesuka.

Because Wasuka had an explanation when he was leaving, he was not allowed to let the guests go out, and found that Lin Feng was going to go with Mrs. Ashi, Mrs. Beesuka asked in a panic: "Your Excellency Lin Feng, where are you going?" ”

Lin Feng clasped his hands together and replied quite easily: "Amitabha, Madame knows that I am a murderous pirate, and after listening to the warnings of this little Zen master, I feel remorseful in my heart, and Mrs. Ashi and this Zen master will take me to worship the Buddha and eliminate my sins." ”

Mrs. Beesuka was also inconvenient to stop them, so she had to send them out of the mansion, and when they had just turned a street, suddenly, the group of wild warriors who were in charge of guarding Lin Feng rushed out, and one by one they were vicious, blocking their way.

The reason why this group of people didn't intercept Lin Feng in the mansion was because they were taboo with Mrs. Ashi and were afraid of causing trouble to the Wassu family in the future, at this time, they didn't care about that, and they had to forcibly arrest Lin Feng.

Xu Ling'er protected Mrs. Ashi, Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu were ready to do it with them, everyone knew that once someone died, it would be difficult to get out of Qingzhou City.

At this moment, a fast horse came roaring, and the man on the horse shouted, "Do not be rude to your guests." ”

"Who are you?" A wild samurai asked.

"I was ordered to come from the battlefield of Handtori Chuan, I was afraid that you would cause trouble, and my lord sent me to supervise you, so I didn't retreat quickly."

At this moment, the group mistakenly thought that the news had leaked and that the Oda family had gotten the news that Mrs. Aichi had come to pick up the mysterious guest, so they had to let Lin Feng go.

The person who came was none other than Su Ba.
